Any advice for a band looking to make it big?

Matt: Sharing bunks with these guys... David: You know you're on the crew bus? Matt: Awww...man

Will "I-Empire" have a different style than, "We Don't Need To Whisper"? Tom: Its more dynamic, but its still very much Angels & Airwaves. But it is developed.... I could go on forever.

When can we expect a new song?

Atom: Late August. The record comes out on October. Unless somebody breaks into Tom's e-mail again.... That's how our first single got leaked was a kid actually broke into Tom's email account. David: It worked out for the best though!

i just wanna know how will your new album be...it will be different from the last? i heard voices it would be similar to blink-182 sounds... is it true?

Tom: There are always elements of things that we love in the past, but it is still more of an Angels & Airwaves sound.

Dave, what is your favourite kind of guitar to use live and in the studio?

David: Gibson 335 live but it is modified with diamond holes on the body. In the studio there are too many different guitars that I use, to actually name.. David: I'm a big dude and I need a big bodied guitar. I'm a tall drink of water.

matt, I was wondering hows working with ava different than working with 30stm

Matt: Its fun

Tom... When you were little did you have the insight into the world that you do now?

Tom: I was really more just into punk rock. I was like just f*ck everybody else. But I've learned over the years that it is a bigger world and there is more to pay attention to and be excited about.. musically and politically.

David: Now its Gibson but he used to use the Strat a lot Tom: Yeah.

Did you ever think that you could change so many kids lives with that Guitar and a couple of friends?
